Crewing for Vista

JOIN THE VISTA GROUND CREW

Vista Balloon Adventures was founded in 1989 and has flown tens of thousands of passengers in the Willamette Valley. A Vista flight takes place in the early morning in Newberg, OR, right after dawn. We typically fly 6 balloons at the same time. A lot of people make up a flight day: 6 pilots, 42 passengers, and most importantly, about 25 ground crew (this is where you come in!) The volunteer ground crew is the heart and soul of Vista.

The Ground Crew role
